hermes character 1 by alan butella butella from usa

By abstracting letters from their typical linguistic context, I derived
the "character" from my gestural doodling with the abstracted text
to take on a somewhat recognizable vernacular. The transformation
that results from the combination of type families gives each figure
it's own unique character. It is precisely that tranformation that most
interested me in the process. I have always been fascinated with the
different spacial relationships that text can convey. It is my hope that
the spaces made here will lead to a new kind of dialogue.
